Located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, this dual-aspect building running between avenue Marceau and rue Jean Giraudoux combines two architectural styles: Haussmannian on one side, 1970s on the other. The project involves its renovation and a timber vertical extension. This extension will create two additional homes with views across the capital.

At the heart of the Chaillot district

The offices undergo a light renovation, including new floors, ceilings and building services. The entrance hall is reorganised and a new entrance is created on rue Jean Giraudoux, together with a bicycle store. The courtyard façades of the 5th and 6th floors are insulated and clad in stone, while large glazed openings bring more natural light into the spaces.
